To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Josnrrr I; SMITH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident, of The Dalles, in the county of Wasco an State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fishing-Ree s, of which the following is a specification.

My provement in fish invention is an im object to provide a which may be conrod or with which carries a and has for its handle for dishing rods, nected with a telescoping of any other character, and

reel having a brake and folding means for 1 operatin the reel.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view, of the handle;

Fig. 2 is a section through the reel;

' Fig.3 is" a section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrow adjacent the line; 3

Fig. 4: is a cross section of the rod showing a guide for guiding theline to the reel.

Fig. 5 is a partial side'view of the improved rod. 7 In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 5, the handle comprises a grip 1 which may be of any suitable material, for instance, cork, and is shaped proper y to fitthe hand, and at one end of the grip is a ferru partly in section,

be described and to form a for that end .ofithe grip.

At the opposite end of the 3, the said casing grip is a casing being approximately cylindr cal in vertlcal cross section, and within this cas ng is journaled a reel, the said reel compris ng a hollow shaft 4: having. at each end a flange or head '5. One of the journal pins 6 of the reel opening in the adjacent head, and at the opposite end the journal 1n 7 is held in the bore of the shaft 4 of the reel. This journal pin carries at the outerface of the ad acent head a brake disk 8, the said disk, asshown, having at its periphery at the face adjacent to the reel an annular rib of the reel. at the opposite this pinion I ried on a stub shaft 12 which is journal in a nipple 13 in a cup shaped gear casing 14.

1918. Serial No. 233,676. This cup shaped casing comprises a disk having atits periphery a marginal flange, and the casing fits within an opening 111 t e adjacent end of the casing 3, with extending over the adjacent head 5 of the reel. A handle 15 1s hinged to the outer end er the shaft 12, in order that it may line or operative position of Fig. 2, or into the dotted line or inoperative position, and the gear casing 1 1 as an opening 16 through which the grip of the crank extend as shown in Fi 2 g The casing 14-. has a nipple 17 which engages recess in e an annular groove or outer end of the pinion 10, and a set screw 18 is threaded into this set screw th 8 against the rec desired degree, and it will when the shaft 12 is turned rotated.

The gear casing 14 is detachably connected with the casing 3, in order to permit the removal of'the gear casing and esired. At the 'opening or the reel the gear casing has oppositely extending radial lugs 20, and these lugs are adapted to pass through notches 21 in the casing 3 when the reel and gear casing'are inserted," and it will be obvious that after turningthe gear casing so that the. lugs are out of register with the notches or recesses, the gear casing will the casing 3.

The line 19 winds upon end, and when thehandle is used wit type of rod shown in Fig.1, the line may pass through the rod or guide eyes 25 carried by spring clips 24:,which may be mountedon the rod 22. i

In the construction of Figs. 1 and 2 the outer section of the telescoping rod 22 has threaded engagement with a nipple 29 on the casing 3.

I claim:
